"fuck! why didn't our professor move that freaking deadline?!" i yelled as i was frustrated by trying to finish this goddamn essay that i had started five hours ago. i am supposed to complete this with 5000 words?! are you kidding me?!

i pinched my nose bridge and closed my eyes. i can't believe the torture that i have to go through just because i want to finish college and graduate. who the hell invented this kind of system?

"oh well. a little break won't hurt. i'll come back to you later." i stood up from my desk and grabbed my phone before heading to my kitchen. i am damn well hungry and this is my first break ever since i started typing my ass away on that essay.

seeing the instant ramyun sitting atop on my counter, i quickly went and took out my pot to fill it with some water and boil it. this is going to be my first meal of the day so i will feast on this ramyun with all my heart. but just as i was about to go back near the stove, i saw myself falling down on the floor.

"wtf?!" my head hit hard on the floor. how come i accidentally fell?! then i felt something wet by the ends of my pajamas. "huh? why's this wet?" i looked to see where did it get wet from and my jaw dropped when i saw a puddle forming beneath my feet. "is this a joke? are you supposed to be kidding me?" my eyes followed the trail of the puddle and yes,,,,, it's from the bathroom.

SERIOUSLY???

i quickly stood up and barged in my bathroom and i saw the ceiling leaking with water. "what is going on?!?!?!" and before i knew it, i was dialling the owner of this apartment building to ask why the hell am i experiencing water leakage.

this is not normal. i have been living here for three years, next week it'll be my fourth year here, and household problems like THAT never happened. i have been too attached to my unit so i will find a way to fix this. it's not like plumbing services won't work so i'll just calm down and wait.

"i'm so sorry for that mr. kim, recently the water system hasn't been good and i'm guessing your unit is the most affected by it. i'll see to it that it'll be fixed. but..." the owner trailed off and i raised my eyebrows, why did he stop? the suspense is killing me. "it will take quite a long time before it gets fixed. i'm also trying to improve and renovate the systems' circulation in the building so it will take a while." and again, my jaw dropped. so is he telling me i have to find a place to stay?

i facepalmed myself and let out a sigh, "so does this mean i can't stay at my place for the meantime?"

"i'm afraid that is what's going to happen."

"am i the only one experiencing this? only my unit?"

"uh-huh, for now it's only yours. there hasn't been any calls like yours recently."

"alright, thank you. i understand." then the call was ended. damn, why does this have to happen now? i wish i had foresaw this.

deep in thought, an idea suddenly popped into my mind. "i can't move places. this one is the closest to my campus, i guess....i'll crash into one of my neighbor's place? i'm pretty sure the one next to me isn't experiencing the same thing as me. although it'd be too odd if it isn't." i told myself while nodding. "yep. this is the only way. i'm so sorry neighbor-nim. i just need to keep living here!!" i told to no one before deciding to pack some of my things.

i will not back out now.

and besides, the one living next to my unit is a good person. i'll just hope what i heard is true.

putting on my backpack and pushing out the luggage outside i walked over to my neighbor and rang the doorbell. i can do this, i'm the talkative one. people will come to like me and they won't even notice it.

"coming!" i heard a muffled voice coming from the inside. it's a man's voice? wait, what...WHAT?????/ but just before as i was to react, the door in front of me opened and there i saw..the most beautiful human being i have ever seen in my whole 21 years of living.

he has black hair, he has a good body build, and his face....HIS FACE.

"excuse me? do you need something, sir?" and his voice. his voice matches his face?? i cannot believe i am standing infront of a person like HIM. "uhh...." then i was snapped back to reality when i realized i have been staring at him for too long.

fuck! that was embarassing as hell! what am i doing?!

i regained my composure and took out my hand, and greeted him with a smile. "hello! my name is kim taehyung and i live next door. and uhm.." my smile was twisting into a sheepish one, "c-can i crash at your place?  i'm currently experiencing problems in my apartment unit and it will take long before everything about it gets fixed."

crap.

i didn't think this through. how can i live peacefully with someone like him?!
